Life in the face of EVO

[lexvil]

Are you back yet?

Got home Monday night, still in recovery phase

My opinion is that it’s the best first stage they have made to date, followed closely by the mk11 EVO, not that there is any real performance improvement that you can detect from a first stage but based on the compactness and great looks

Give me a MK17 (not Evo) 2 with the original hose routing, With the Evo 2 compact sealing and lightening cuts and I'd be very happy

Oh yea, Ti

I’ve evolved into preferring the EVO routing but all in on the call for titanium especially a MK 11 EVO T

Just curious, why do you like the original routing? My old but nearly new Mark 11 is of course the old routing and I agree it a bit odd but completely workable. But, why do you prefer that over Evo?

The slight down angle of HF-LP ports nicely routes the longhose down (and drysuit inflator if I were to dive that way)

I like that the BC and necklace ports aren't routing forward as it keeps things tucked in a bit better.

I run an over-the-shoulder\chest-mount spg\transmiter so the flat exit HP works pretty well, but I would likely prefer it in plane with the LP ports.

I have HOG D1s & D3s so I am familliar with the flat, radial LP port configuration.
